The Heart Travels: Experiences of a Lifetime


Book Description

One of the perks of being an IT Consultant is that you get to travel to various client locations. So, what happens when you love to travel, and get posted in one of the most exotic locations in Europe on work? Of course, one would hardly like to be home, so, you pack your bags and visit a different country every weekend! The book takes one through these journeys and experiences through Europe as well as India, Philippines, and Australia. From the cafes of old town square Prague, to the Sydney Opera House; from the mountains of Ladakh, to Slovakia, this narrates a first-hand account of these different places through the eyes of a first-time traveller. These include journeys by car, bus, train, air and even at times some unorthodox and less comfortable modes of transport. The thrill of experiencing different countries and diverse cultures is a constantly enriching experience.




Heart of Miracles


Book Description

In the vein of Eat, Pray, Love, this powerful memoir chronicles a woman's search for meaning following a paradigm-shifting near-death experience Karen Henson Jones was on the conventional path to success in the corporate world when a sudden cardiac event at the age of 30 took her to the brink of death. During an otherworldly near-death experience, she was presented with a choice to leave her body or to return to Earth. When her request to live was granted, Karen was forced to come to terms with the life she had been living. With warmth, wonder, and wit, Heart of Miracles follows Karen on an inspirational journey through India, Italy, Bhutan, and the Holy Land of Israel in search of a more meaningful life. Exploring the power of meditation, Western medical science, the transformative doctrines of reincarnation, and the teachings of Jesus, Karen encourages us to embrace the full possibilities of our spiritual selves.

This could be a good way to oil your thinking and your praying.’ Julia Cameron ‘I have been travelling internationally for 45 years – I just wish I’d been able to read this book a long time ago – it would certainly have made me travel more thoughtfully. It’s a travelogue; it’s theology; it’s cultural education; it’s a challenge to undertake mission . . . A fascinating read.’ Peter Maiden ‘Loved it!

Travels with Herodotus


Book Description

From the renowned journalist comes this intimate account of his years in the field, traveling for the first time beyond the Iron Curtain to India, China, Ethiopia, and other exotic locales. In the 1950s, Ryszard Kapuscinski finished university in Poland and became a foreign correspondent, hoping to go abroad – perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India – the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world that took Kapuscinski from Iran to El Salvador, from Angola to Armenia. Revisiting his memories of traveling the globe with a copy of Herodotus' Histories in tow, Kapuscinski describes his awakening to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of new environments, and how the words of the Greek historiographer helped shape his own view of an increasingly globalized world. Written with supreme eloquence and a constant eye to the global undercurrents that have shaped the last half-century, Travels with Herodotus is an exceptional chronicle of one man's journey across continents.
